Guild Wars 2

It occurs to me that Fractal 38 is about the most popular one to farm, and that one specifically hoses necros hard because of the mistslocked instability which means poison and chill effects give enemies boons instead of impacting them. This throws most my rotations out the window.

I currently play a hybrid build with mixed Zerker’s and Rampager’s gear, which I’ve always hated the mainstat Prec on. However, the new Sinister gear surely has some ascended recipes coming shortly, and am considering putting some money down to craft it. The problem is, is it even worth gearing my necro up for fractals? Should I just make some of the Sinister Exotics and call it a day and keep making some ascended Zerker gear to throw on my ele or guardian when I want to get serious with Fractals? It’s personally really frustrating to learn how that particular fractal hoses Necros, since we’re already considered to be gimping groups (at least vs bosses)

IF you’re going for speedruns time, play ele. If not, a necro isn’t that bad in fractals compared to dungeons because they have good weakness application and most fractal comps are already supportive enough to take a selfish dps class. Why not making the ascended berserker for your necro and try a new build not reliant on chill and poison?

That’s not a bad idea. I think I may just craft a set of Sinister Exos and carry both sets around for changing builds on the fly.

FYI, just learned the hard way that Sinister isn’t tradeable.

Oops.

Made 4 coats.

Oh.
Bright side, at least now you know it.

Just exotic, save zerker for other class. I find the zerker necro rotation very boring as our main dps weapon skill is the AA.

Ouch! Thanks for the tip.

AA ?

Dagger auto attack; you can ignore dagger 2, unless you traited blood magic, and dagger 3, unless the mob likes wandering too much.
